Guest HaloArchive Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hello Guys, So, after me wanting to beat my noob and realizing that it is not the proper sub to beat, I have decided to start a vintage project First off, what model should I build? I want a sub that has parts easily avalible for when I pony up the cash to add to the watch. Second, I want a watch with a case set that is able to accept gen parts with little to no modding so that, I can wear it with rep parts and do a sort of rep to franken to gen type of idea. Any ideas? Oh, please list where I can get these parts from. If you saw DW, I do not know how to contact him :/ Cheers~ H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 1680 MBW if you had not said sub I would suggest a 6263. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloArchive Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 6263 is a too expensive project. If I could make an asymm pusher with working chrono and correct thickness case, I would go for it but, I cant wear it as a "work in progress" watch. If I could get information of one that I could wear like that, I'd love it. I checked WM9's website.. is that the same as WBK? I have not really followed the whole vintage thing on Rolex. Thanks!

gplracer Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 BK has the best modern sub with the WM9 v2. The MBW subs take gen parts so they are a good watch to wear and upgrade as you go. Have you looked at the Spinmaster 7760 6263? It is a great watch. The only drawback is that the subdial spacing is a little off. You can add a gen crystal, crown and band later if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 MBW 5513? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 You can get a 7750-powered 6263 with asymmetrical pushers from DW for $300. The (middle) case is very close to the dimensions of a gen 62xx Daytona & will accept many gen parts (crown/tube, pushers (usually), crystal, etc). Then, at some point in the future, if you feel the need to improve it, you (or your watchmaker) can remove the auto-wind assembly (to turn the auto-wind 7750 into a manual-wind pseudo 7760), which lowers the height of the movement enough to allow you to fit DW's (lower profile) V72 kit caseback. Depending on your will & resolve, you could even mod the case to accept a V72 (though this would also require that you swap the 7750 dial out for 1 of DW's dials made to fit the V72).
